Loose Cannon

DPF points out that John Tamihere's highly amusing, yet ill-advised diatribe has been removed from the Labour Party website. Now TV3 is "considering legal action", I don't think it would be in TV3's best interests to take this case to court, at the very least Duncan Garner would no longer have a job if all the ethically deficient details of this story were forcibly revealed. Tamihere even though his hands are from clean in this whole affair, would greatly benefit from a Winston Peters style 'victim of the liberal/conservative/mainstream media' campaign.This coupled with the banishment of the TV3 cameras from the House this week could provide for some 'interesting' political coverage on TV3 in the coming months.Will TV3 be donating $25,000 to the Labour Party this election year?
